Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile oil pumps, and in particular to an oil pump structure for a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Although gear-differential cycloidal rotor oil pumps are widely used in traditional fuel vehicles, hybrid vehicles and new energy pure electric vehicles, they also face challenges such as efficiency, noise and cavitation.

[0003] The existing gear-differential cycloidal rotor oil pump has relatively low filling efficiency and filling pressure, which will affect the performance of the oil pump. The gear-differential cycloidal rotor oil pump may generate noise during operation, which not only affects the driving experience but also causes noise pollution to the surrounding environment. This type of oil pump may experience cavitation, that is, bubbles form inside the pump, which burst under high pressure, which may cause damage to the pump and reduce efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a vehicle oil pump structure. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle oil pump structure to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of the present invention is as follows: a vehicle oil pump structure includes a pump body, an outer rotor and an inner rotor.

[0007] The pump body includes an end cover and a pump body. The pump body has a rotor cavity. An outer rotor and an inner rotor meshing with each other are arranged in the rotor cavity. The inner rotor is an outer gear. The outer rotor is an inner gear. The meshing line of the outer rotor and the inner rotor separates the cavity of the rotor cavity into an oil suction side and an oil discharge side. The end cover closes the rotor cavity. An oil suction passage and an oil discharge passage are arranged on the end cover.

[0008] The outer rotor is provided with a plurality of radial holes, which are located at the middle tooth grooves of the tooth roots of the outer rotor, and which penetrate the thickness of the gears of the outer rotor.

[0009] The annular side wall of the rotor cavity is provided with an oil outlet groove I and an oil outlet groove II. The oil outlet groove I is arranged on the oil suction side. The oil outlet groove II is arranged on the oil discharge side. One end of the oil outlet groove I is connected to the oil suction channel, and the other end acts on the outer circle of the outer rotor. One end of the oil outlet groove II is connected to the oil discharge channel, and the other end acts on the outer circle of the outer rotor.

[0010] During the transmission process, the oil outlet groove I is connected with the radial hole at the corresponding position to form an oil suction channel, which is connected to the oil suction channel. The oil outlet groove II is connected with the radial hole at the corresponding position to form an oil discharge channel, which is connected to the oil discharge channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner rotor has Z teeth, and the outer rotor has Z+1 teeth.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the rotor cavity is provided with an oil inlet groove and an oil outlet groove surrounding the shaft hole. The oil inlet groove and the oil outlet groove are both arc-shaped grooves. The oil outlet groove I surrounds the oil inlet groove on a plane. The oil outlet groove II surrounds the oil outlet groove on a plane.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of radial holes are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the gear.

[0014] The technical effects of the present invention are unquestionable: the oil outlet groove I improves the oil filling efficiency, increases the oil filling pressure, reduces noise and cavitation, and increases the life of the oil pump. The oil outlet groove II reduces the pressure between the teeth of the oil pump, maintains uniform pressure, reduces pressure pulsation, reduces noise, and increases the life of the oil pump.
